Chapter 637: Another Ritual to Become a God

~16 min read 3,188 words


An aura erupted, shaking the wind and clouds, forming a hazy expanse that enveloped the statues of various races currently in the midst of shattering.

Outsiders could not see clearly.

They could only vaguely see that within the haze, there existed a total of twenty-three statues!

Their appearance caused the cultivators of the Kusheng Mountain Range to tremble in their hearts; the combined aura was truly vast and overwhelming, causing the wind and clouds to change color.

For the cultivators of the Reverse Moon Palace, it was the same, especially some of the elders of the Reverse Moon Palace, who stared intently.

Also moved were the Red Moon cultivators; this battlefield of slaughter was shaken by the appearance of these statues.

However, within this terrifying aura coming from the ice statues, a trace of Nascent Soul fluctuation was mixed in...

This fluctuation was like an anomaly, mixed within; it was both conspicuous and inconspicuous.

At the same time, he was also the first to awaken and walk out of the haze.

It was precisely the physical body of the Captain.

"In that epoch of the Reverse Moon, a Moon Lord finally emerged." "Greetings to the Lord of the later Reverse Moon."

Xu Qing dared not be negligent and hurriedly responded.

The Lord of the Reverse Moon who appeared in that epoch was Yu Sheng.

His aura was sometimes weak and sometimes strong, he clearly carried injuries on his body, and judging from the traces of the wounds, they were formed by the attacks of the Heir and Princess Mingmei.

Within the haze, the second figure walked out step by step, followed by the harsh sound of weapons scraping against the ground.

That was an alien, his entire body covered in scales, and as his long blue hair fluttered, he looked around in a daze.

Even so, the appearance of these figures brought immense pressure to the Red Moon cultivators.

Even those ice statues of Yu Sheng were familiar with this woman and knew her identity. Only Li Li Xiaoshan, looking at the alien woman who walked out, lowered his head and spoke softly.

That was an alien woman.

Every water stain buried a Red Moon cultivator, but within the reflection, one could see the Red Moon cultivators buried inside, wailing in agony.

"Once there was a big doll, behind him a row of small dolls, ten dolls nine, red eyes and gray hair, never speaking from dawn till dusk, when big children see them they shout 'A-Jia', when small children meet them they must not be afraid..."

The Palace Emperor's expression changed, and with this delay, the burning sea of blood rapidly diminished, eventually disappearing entirely; the entire sea of blood... was burned dry by the flames, and the flames did not stop, heading straight for the Palace Emperor above.

This was also to be expected; after all... what they were facing now was the strongest batch of people accumulated by the Reverse Moon Palace over an epoch.

The latter spat out blood while retreating, his aura waning, but the next instant he recovered to normal; when he looked up, his eyes were calm, and he continued to drag his broken long blade forward.

This statue was none other than the Sovereign Li Li Zihua!

Heaven and earth lost their color; the Palace Emperor retreated, and Li Li Xiaoshan retreated as well.

"Your master did not die, but back then the breakthrough to Spirit Containment failed, the curse erupted, and I had to be sealed and suppressed by the artifact spirit, all to awaken at the critical moment."

The Palace Emperor's expression was grave to the extreme; as he spoke word by word, the woman's eyes shimmered with a ripple of light, the sense of emptiness dissipated, and a sense of coldness gathered, turning into a gaze that landed on the Palace Emperor.

"Finally, awakened."

A terrifying aura descended along with it.

Flames spread, covering the heavens and earth, the sea of blood churned, and the firmament roared.

The divine statues of the Reverse Moon Palace itself were equally astonishing; they fought bravely under the reinforcement, fearing neither life nor death, and every time a death occurred, a statue would appear again within the mountain temples of the Reverse Moon Palace, walk out, and join the battlefield.

"The Moon Lord gave the order, and these old bones of mine can still move a little." The old man said, looking at the Palace Emperor outside, coldness permeating his eyes.

And within those corpses that died suddenly, the alien form of Xu Qing would reform, continue to move forward, and continue to be killed.

This ice statue was the slowest to shatter; only now did it finally crack completely, and as it walked out, a thick aura of time spread out, as if an ancient wind had blown across the four directions, setting off a roar in heaven and earth.

The woman looked deeply at

Yu Sheng, said nothing more, and turned to look outside.

After speaking, he cupped his fists in a bow.

Looking out, every one of these alien cultivators of Xu Qing had astonishing attacks; wherever the blue-haired alien passed, he left behind patches of water stains.

"Master!"

The Red Moon cultivators were not weak, but those here were simply not enough.

The Seventh Palace Master's eyes revealed shock as he looked at the old man walking over, his voice trembling.

At this moment, after walking out, she stood there, eyes clearly open, yet they were completely hollow.

Xu Qing's heart was stirred; he had not expected that among the ice statues sealed by the Reverse Moon Palace, there would be such existences.

His appearance surprised many, and they were very puzzled, wondering how such a cultivation base could be sealed...

"Not bad, you successfully inherited the Seventh Palace that belongs to my lineage."

"The Lord of the Reverse Moon from the previous epoch, Shen Quezi!"

That divine palace was the Red Moon God Child Palace, and this place was the headquarters of the Red Moon Divine Palace.

All the brothers and sisters were there, only the seventh was missing.

The Heavenly Ghost Tribe was a tribe in the Jiyue Great Region that had already gone extinct; legend has it that this tribe was originally the hereditary Red Moon Divine Envoys, in charge of the thunder power of the Great Region, but due to some unknown reasons, they chose to betray the Moon.

"Greetings, Senior."

Her appearance caused everyone's hearts to fluctuate, but few recognized her; even the elders of the Reverse Moon Palace had no impression of her.

She had a third eye growing on her forehead, this eye was crimson, as if containing flames; as she walked out, flames erupted, forming a rising sea of fire, manifesting a huge face in mid-air, with a world vaguely forming within it.

The lake water was deathly silent, and on the surface of the lake sat seventeen corpses cross-legged, each one looking exactly like the young man.

The circle was complete.

A tall body, hair like snakes, dragging a huge bone tail behind him; his appearance immediately caused some exclamations.

And the induction from his heart made the awakened alien understand the era he was in and the reason for his revival, so he looked at Xu Qing.

The lake surface gradually churned, as if some existence was slowly rising from the bottom of the lake.

It looked like a seal, but it was also a form of protection.

It was as if her traces had never appeared in this epoch.

This old man was actually the Seventh Palace Master's master, and the Seventh Palace Master's thoughts were churning; he clearly remembered his master passing away, and after passing away, he had given him the qualification to ascend to the Seventh Divine Palace.

This was the harvest gathered by the Reverse Moon Palace of the Jiyue Great Region over an epoch.

Under the gaze of the masses, the Captain who walked out was expressionless, heading straight for Xu Qing's side; in an instant, he merged with his own soul shadow, then opened his eyes, revealing a spirited look, and stretched.

"Little ghost, why can't a human hold the position of the Lord of the Reverse Moon?"

This was a gift she left for the next Lord of the Reverse Moon.

The Heavenly Ghost Tribe giant muttered, his voice like a thunderous roar; the moment he walked out, he looked fiercely at the Red Moon cultivators and the Palace Emperor outside, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, then looked at Xu Qing, frowning.

"You are very strange..."

The Captain raised an eyebrow, about to say something mysterious, but just then, the sound of cracking echoed from the statues, and the ice seal of the third statue shattered completely, and it walked out from within.

Among these cultivators of Xu Qing, there was one whose strangeness was even greater; he did not resist any of the Red Moon cultivators' techniques or attacks at all, allowing the enemy to kill him.

Er Niu's expression changed, instantly becoming grave; he looked at the woman in front of him and said nothing.

"Those are your eyes."

Inside were the Heir, Princess Mingmei... but they were all young, as if that was their past.

The woman murmured, took a step forward, crossed the Reverse Moon Palace directly, and appeared above the sea of blood outside; she raised her hand and waved, and immediately boundless flames erupted from her body, heading straight for the sea of blood below.

This person's expression was indifferent; he looked like a young man, and his appearance was very similar to the statue outside.

The old man's gaze landed on the Seventh Palace Master, nodding slightly.

And in front of him, an illusory scene flashed, within which was the scene of the Kusheng Mountain Range battlefield.

His identity was already self-evident.

At this moment, inside the God Child Palace, a person sat on a huge seat.

She chose to self-silence, using a special method to cooperate with the Reverse Moon Palace, avoiding the Red Mother's devouring, and left behind this clone.

This third person was a human!

"A pieced-together body, a stitched-together world, wielding a pair of eyeballs that do not belong to this era to trade for the power of Spirit Containment, but do you still remember who you are?"

Those alien cultivators of Xu Qing rushed out one after another, their respective cultivation bases erupting, killing their way into the Red Moon cultivators.

This figure was also an alien; every step he took, there was actually the sound of thunder roaring, as if his footsteps were transformed from heavenly thunder, and he finally appeared in everyone's sight.

The moment his muttering voice echoed, a fluctuation of the second stage of Returning to Void erupted suddenly from his body, forming a roar; as his momentum was astonishing, the people outside also focused their attention.

Inside the island, there was a giant statue; it was in a kneeling posture, looking like it was supporting heaven and earth from afar, and boundless and immense up close; numerous palaces were spread beneath its feet, and compared to it, they were like ants.

That long blade had astonishing baleful energy, as if one strike could shatter heaven and earth.

The reflection was strange, actually not matching the body; one could see that among the thirteen reflections, nine were men and four were women, and their appearance was exactly that of the Sovereign's offspring.

The sense of antiquity on his body was exceptionally strong, as if one could feel the passage of time just by looking at him.

At the same time, inside the Reverse Moon Palace, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with cold light, manipulating the mirror transformed from the Reverse Moon Palace, shining with brilliant light, covering the four directions and reinforcing the Reverse Moon cultivators.

The battlefield roared once again.

The Palace Emperor's expression changed; he raised his left hand and pressed down fiercely, the small world behind him manifesting, intending to suppress.

The woman's gaze turned, finally landing on Xu Qing, slowly emitting a ghostly light, and an even colder aura spread from her body; although flames were swirling, at this moment, the color of the fire changed, becoming white.

Xu Qing's gaze was calm as he looked at the Heavenly Ghost Tribe giant, just about to speak, but at that moment, an indifferent voice came from within the haze transformed by those statues.

After speaking, the old man's gaze landed on those two aliens; the two aliens immediately lowered their heads, stepped back a few steps, their expressions respectful.

"This tribe actually still has clansmen in existence!" Later, they were exterminated by the Divine Palace.

The more he killed, the more ferocious ghost shadows appeared around him. In truth, his cultivation base was too disparate compared to the terrifying aura of the statues behind him, making it impossible not to notice him.

The moment his voice came out, a fourth figure walked out from the haze.

"You really didn't die, Li Li Xiaoshan!"

After gazing for a long time, the young man stood up expressionless and walked toward the depths of the great palace, each step as if walking through nothingness, walking into another world.

That is not the might of the Reverse Moon Palace as a Domain Treasure!

That voice was piercing and stone-shattering; the moment it rang out, both the blue-haired alien race and the burly man of the Heavenly Ghost Race changed their expressions and looked over in unison, and even the Seven Palace Lords in the outside world, upon hearing this voice, felt their breathing grow rapid and looked over as well.

"You are the Lord of the Reverse Moon; how can such a frail human race hold this position!"

Once his words were spoken, everyone's hearts were filled with turbulent waves, save for Xu Qing and the Captain, who remained relatively calm, for they had already understood this woman's identity the moment they became the Lords of the Reverse Moon.

And she, situated within the sea of fire, was like the Fire Lord, radiating fluctuations infinitely close to the Spirit Accumulation realm; it seemed that if she wished, she could instantly form her own small world and step into Spirit Accumulation.

"I am merely a clone, lacking the might of my original body from back then; I cannot help much, but I will do my best."

At this moment, in the center of the Moon Sacrifice Great Domain, there was a lake, and in the center of the lake existed an island.

A golden eye appeared in the firmament, emitting golden light that illuminated the lake and caused the reflections of those thirteen corpses to appear upon the surface of the water.

But just then, Chen Chen Erniu suddenly walked out from there, dragging a decaying long blade in his hand as he stepped forward, walking out nine steps in succession.

Each step trod into the void, shuttling between reality and illusion, impossible to block.

Yet every time he died, the cultivator who had attacked him would instantly drop dead.

Vaguely, sounds of eerie gloom echoed within that world.

However, the Reverse Moon Palace had not only had one Lord of the Reverse Moon; although they did not exist in every epoch, several had appeared from ancient times to the present.

Above his head, there was also a divine palace, suppressing him at every moment.

There was also the burly man of the Heavenly Ghost Race; thunder roared across his entire body, forming a thunder domain around him, and as each bolt fell, it scattered into countless arc-shaped electric lights, each of which transformed into a ferocious ghostly shadow, driven by him to slaughter.

"I... have awakened."

The sea of blood also churned amidst the diffusion of these many auras, and the firmament appeared as if covered in fish scales.

"Is the decisive battle of this epoch about to begin? It is much more interesting than my epoch."

"Until suddenly one day, the first doll got sick, the second doll checked, the third doll bought medicine, the fourth doll brewed it, the fifth doll died, the sixth doll laughed, the seventh doll dug a pit, the eighth doll jumped in, the ninth doll shed tears on the ground, I went to ask him why he was crying 'Heavenly Ghost Race!'"

"I am the Red Moon Palace Emperor!"

With tattered robes, a huge scar connecting his brow to his waist, and accompanied by astonishing ferocity, he dragged a decaying long blade and walked into the world. But the circle had a gap.

"Gods are not eternal; may hope endure through the ages."

The old man snorted coldly, then turned to look at Xu Qing, his expression softening as he nodded slightly.

"Comforting!"

Until, amidst the haze, only one ice sculpture remained.

At this moment, amidst the haze, roaring rose again, and one figure after another walked out from within, each with an aura like a rainbow, carrying the sense of time; though their auras were not as strong as those from the Eastern Arrival, they were still terrifying.

They circled above the lake, forming a circle, looking like a bizarre ritual.

"In my epoch, the Red Moon had no Palace Emperor. In an instant, the situation reversed."

Xu Qing glanced over without speaking; the people in the outside world watching this scene were also moved, and had they not been on a battlefield, there would surely have been countless whispers of speculation.

"Willing to fight for the Reverse Moon!"

At the ninth step, he arrived in front of the Palace Emperor, hoisted the long blade in his hand, and slashed down!

They were all of alien races; the moment they walked out, they had already understood the reason, and seeing the outside world and Xu Qing, they all restrained themselves.

Inside that world, the firmament was dim, and the land had a blood-colored lake.

"The fifth doll is lost and won't come back!"

The Red Moon Palace Emperor's expression changed for the second time, even more violently than when he had seen Xu Qing earlier; his expression was grave, as if facing a great enemy, staring fixedly at the figure gradually revealing itself to the world.

Until the young man walked step by step onto the lake, arrived at the empty spot, sat cross-legged, and became the thirteenth corpse.

The woman shook her head, sighed softly, and looked at Chen Chen Erniu beside Xu Qing.

Looking closely, one could see that these corpses actually had no flesh and blood, only a layer of skin remaining.

And this last ice sculpture sealed none other than the previous Lord of the Reverse Moon, though it was not the true body, but merely a clone.

It was just that their resistance had all failed.

His appearance caused everyone's expressions to change, and even the Palace Emperor narrowed his eyes.

In an instant, the entire sea of blood actually began to burn. The woman spoke calmly, and her words caused the Palace Emperor to be stunned and speak instinctively.
